Abortion makes sense in every area--unless you believe that God made alot of souls 6000 years ago when he supposedly created the world-- or if you have faith that we all have souls and they are put in us at conception. There is no evidence for either-- except that a few men said they were true, so their followers believe them. They are certainly unprovable ideas.
But there are provable ideas that abortion is necessary. Too many people are the cause of climate change. We blame the carbon dioxide that they use and the beef that they eat--but too many people is the root cause.
This book looks at the more obvious negatives to the opposition to abortion. There are far more reasons than just the desires of a pregnant girl.
About the author
Dr. O'Connor is a native of Los Angeles--having grown up in the "ghetto" of South-Central LA. His parents had eighth grade educations. His father died when the author was eight years old. This forced the family onto the welfare rolls while his mother went to school to learn clerical skills.
Dr. O'Connor's university education was at UCLA where he earned a BS and Master's degree and did two years of doctoral level work. He then changed his major and his university, gaining his doctorate at the University of Southern California--in philosophical and social foundations of education.
His interest in travel led to living and teaching in New Zealand, India, Canada and the Netherlands, culminating in a twenty year residence in Norway.
His experience in various cultures has prompted many of the ideas and questions he presents in the book.
